I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Stripe in Nov 2024
Interview
Tasks were challenging, time pressured, fair and felt reflective of the real job. Code cleanliness and communication emphasised. Be prepared to take initiative to drive progress forward yourself. Perfection not required, I definitely had an interview where I performed weaker.
Interviewers friendly and very happy to answer lots of questions about the company.

I have completed the first round of DSA on HackerRank, and then the second round is a team screen round, which means a live coding round, where they will give you DSA questions that correlate to the Stipe production environment. It's a one-hour online meeting
